Passengers are encouraged to take the following precautions if they must travel during this time:
- Heavy rainfall can make riders difficult to see at bus stops. Consider wearing bright clothing and bringing a flashlight to notify the driver you’re waiting.
- In the event of a lightning storm, do your best to avoid metal, which conducts electricity, and tall objects.
- In the event a tornado occurs, head toward shelter immediately. If shelter is not available, find the lowest point of ground, lie down and cover your head with your arms or another object.
- Stay up to date regarding weather updates by watching the local news or listening to the radio.
- Plan for delays and allow extra travel time to and from your destination.
